MEMOIR  OF  SIR  J.  WILLIAM  DAWSON 


BY 


FRANK  D.  ADAMS 


[From  Bcll.  Gkol.  Soc.  Am.,  Vol.  11,  1899] 


MEMOIR  OF  SII!  J.    WILLIAM  DA  WSOX 


HY    KI!A.\K    n.     ADAMS 


It  is  with  deep  regret  tliat  we  reeonl  the  (h'ath  of  Sir  William  Dawson, 
which  took  plaee  at  INfontreal  on  the  morning  of  Xovemher  lit,  in  the 
eightieth  year  of  his  age.  In  him  Canada  loses  a  distinguished  geolo- 
gist and  naturalist,  as  well  as  one  who  was  intimately  identilied  with 
educational  work  of  all  kinds,  hut  more  especially  with  higher  education 
in  the  )>rovince  of  (iu(>l»ec. 

Sir  .lohn  William  Dawson,  having  lieen  l)orn  at  IMctou  on  Octoher  l.'J, 
1S2(),  was  a  native  of  Nova  Scotia,  a  province  whicli  has  produced  more 
than  its  share  of  tiie  Canadians  who  have  risen  to  eminence  in  the  various 
walks  of  life.  His  father,  .lames  Dawson,  was  from  near  .Aherdeen,  Scot- 
land, and  came  to  Nova  Scotia-  to  till  a  position  in  a  leailing  husiness 
house  in  Pictou,  and  on  the  ternnnation  of  his  engagement  hegan  husi- 
neas  on  his  own  account,  hecoming  in  the  course  (»f  time  one  of  the  chief 
ship-huilders  in  that  part  of  Nova  Scotia,  .hunes  Dawson  had  hut  two 
children,  of  whom  Sir  William  was  the  elder.  The  younger  died  at  an 
early  age,  leaving  Sir  William  thu.s  the  .sole  survivor  of  the  family.

W'liilf  still  lit  scliool  ill  I'ictou.  at  tliu  !i<,'e  of  twelve  he  developed  a  ]')ve 
for  iiiitiinil  scit'iicc.  iiiliciiti'd  from  liis  fatht-r,  and  made  larf];e  collections 
of  fossil  |iliiiits  iVoiii  till'  Nova  Srotia  Coal  Measures,  so  well  exposed 
altout  his  native  place,  lie  speaks  of  himself  at  that  time  as  lieint?  a 
"moderately  diligent,  hut  iu>t  a  specially  lirilliant  pupil."  On  leaving 
school  he  studied  at  I'ictou  College  and  suhseciuently  at  the  l;iuver.sity 
of  Kdinl>urij;h.  While  at  the  former  seat  of  learninjj;,  at  the  aj^e  of  six- 
teen, he  read  hefore  the  local  natural  history  society  his  fu'st  paper, 
having  tlie  somewhat  and)itious  title  "On  the  structure  and  history  of 
the  earth." 

At  iMlinhurgh  he  studied  under  Jamieson.  Korhes,  and  lialfour,  as 
well  as  with  Alexander  I'ose,  whom  he  refers  to  in  some  notes  and 
reminiscences  as  a  single  hearted  mineralogist  and  the  greatest  authority 
on  the  mineralogy  of  Scotland.  He  records  his  impression  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Kdinhurgh  at  that  time  as  hcing  "a  very  imperfect  school  of 
natural  science  in  comparison  with  our  modern  institutions,"  and  adds: 
"Jamieson,  who  was  n'ly  principal  teacher,  devoted  a  large  portion  of 
the  earlier  lectures  of  his  course  to  physiography,  and  the  rest  to  min- 
erals and  rocks,  hut  1  was  surprisi'd  to  find  how  little  even  some  of  the 
most  eminent  Knglish  geologists  of  the  day  knew  of  mineralogy,  and  how 
uncertain  in  conseiiuence  was  their  diagnosis  in  the  field  of  the  nature 
(»f  rock  masses." 

In  IS^i  he  met,  however,  two  men  with  whom  he  was  afterward  in- 
timately associatcil  in  his  work — Sir  Charles  T.yell,  who  more  than  any 
other  man  gave  form  to  modern  geological  science,  and  Sir  William 
Logan,  who  gave  the  tirst  great  impetus  to  the  study  of  the  older  rocks 
of  the  northern  half  of  the  North  .American  continent  and  who  founded 
the  (ieological  Siu'vey  of  Canatla. 

He  returned  to  Nova  Scotia  in  KS47,and  two  years  later  went  to  Halifax 
to  give  a  course  of  lectures  on  natural  history  suhjcots  in  connection  Avith 
Dalhousie  College,  and  organized  classes  for  practical  work  in  mineralogy 
and  iialeontology.  Tliesc  were  attended  hy  students,  (-itizens.and  pupils 
of  higher  school..— a  ft)reshadowing  of  university  extension.  In  1S50,  at 
the  age  of  ;'.().  having  already  attracted  some  attention  hy  the  ituhlication 
of  a  numher  oi'  papers,  reports,  and  lectures,  he  was  appointed  Super- 
intciuhnt  of  Ivl',. cation  for  Nova  Scotia.  His  work  in  connection  with 
this  position  ol'liged  liim  to  travel  continually  through  all  jiarts  of  the 
province,  and  on  these  JMurneys  lie  accumulated  that  innnense  mass  of 
information  conctTiiing  the  geology  and  mineral  resources  of  Nova 
Scotia  which  is  iiicor|>oratcd  in  his  largest  work— that  entitled  "Acadian 
Geology."

Sir  Charles  lA't'W.  in  1S41.  on  his  first  visit  to  America,  met  Sir  Wil- 
liam and  was  h}'  him  coiidncttMl  to  many  places  of  <^e()lo<;;ieal  interest  in 
Nova  Scotia,  and  on  his  suhstMniciit  visit  in  l.S.""i  they  tof^ether  continued 
their  studies  in  Nova  Scotian  geolo<fy.  In  a  letter  to  Leonard  Horner, 
dated  September  12  oftiiis  year.  Lyell  writes: 

"  My  compaiiioii,  J.  W.  F);i\v.soii,  is  coiitimiiiUy  ivffiriiij;  to  the  curiouH  hotiiiiical 
points  rt'S])ectin;i  ciiliiiiiitcs,  cndnjrt'iiiti'H,  ami  oilier  coal  plants,  on  wliirli  Unlit  is 
thrown  i»y  certain  spei-iiiu'iis  cnllecti'il  l>y  him  at  I'ictou.  He  told  nie  that  the  root 
of  tilt'  pond  lily  A7/;//y</(.( -/  ixlunila,  most  ri'scmhled  Sti;;maria  in  the  roj;ularity  of 
its  jrrowth.and  Doctor  Kohh  showed  me  a  dried  spetinien.a  rhi/onia,  which  heinf^ 
of  a  totally  dillereiit  faniily  and  theri'Coie  not  strictly  like,  still  sn^rwests  the  prolm- 
bility  of  the  Stitjmaria  liavinj:  <,'rown  in  slnsh  in  like  manner." 

And  in  another  part  of  the  same  letter  he,  referriiif,'  to  the  now  cele- 
brated Jojigins  section  on  tiie  coast  of  Nova  Scotia,  says  : 

"  Pawson  and  I  set  to  work  and  measnied  foot  by  foot  many  hundred  yards  of 
the  clitl's,  where  forests  of  erect  trees  and  calaniites  most  abound.  It  was  hard 
work,  as  the  wind  one  day  was  stminy,  ami  we  had  to  look  sharp  U'st  the  rockinji 
of  liviiiji  trees  just  reaily  to  fall  fiom  the  top  of  the  nnderinined  clitrshoidd  cause 
some  of  the  old  fossil  ones  to  comedown  upon  us  by  the  run.  Hut  1  never  enjoyed 
the  reatlin<r  of  a  marvelous  chaider  of  ilie  liiir  volnme  more.  We  missed  a  botan- 
ical aiile  de  camp  much  when  we  came  to  the  top  and  bottoms  of  calaniites  and  all 
sorts  of  sti'aiii:e  pranks  which  some  of  the  compres,«od  trees  played." 

Ill  l.sr)4  Forbes,  .vho  was  professor  of  <j;eolo<ry  and  zoology  in  the 
I'liiversity  of  Kdiiiliuri:ii.  died,  and  l.ycll  wrote  to  Sir  William,  advising 
him  ,  >  apply  I'or'the  chair,  promising  iiim  his  support  and  that  of  a  num- 
ber (d  his  iniluriitial  iViciids.  wldie  Sir  Willi:im"s  "Acadian  (Jeology," 
whicii  iiad  just  been  pubiislied  in  lulinburgh,  testified  to  his  abundant 
fitness  for  the  position.  He  w;is  about  to  set  sail  for  Scotland  to  prose- 
cute his  caiididatiire  lor  tlie  chair  when  lie  received  word  that  the  place 
had  been  lilled,  sooner  tiiaii  liad  lieeii  anticipated,  l»y  the  appointment 
of  a  zoologist  who  bad  been  >trongIy  supported  by  the  medical  school 
of  the  university,  luit.  liy  a  straiigi-  coiiu'ideiice,  he  received,  almost  on 
tile  very  day  that  lie  was  to  sail  for  Scotland,  a  letter  otiering  him  the 
principalship  of  Mctiill  I'liiversity. 

This  institution,  founded  by  inyal  charter  in  IS-Jl,  had  made  but  slow 
progress  in  its  earlier  years,  and  was  at  this  time,  through  litigation  and 
other  causes,  almost  in  a  state  (d'cojlapse.  Sir  William,  then  Mr  Dawson, 
was  pointi'd  out  to  the  governors  of  the  college  by  Sir  KdiiUind  Head, 
then  ()overiior-(  ieiieral  of  Canada,  as  a  man  who,  if  his  services  could  be 
secured,  was  eminently  lilted  to  undertakt!  the  task  of  reconstructing  it. 

The  services  of  .Mr  hawsoii  wertf  accordingly  secured,  and  in  1855  he

in  1855  he 


as-unn'ii  the  principalship  of  Mcdill  University,  stipnlating  ;it  the  same 
tinir  that  the  diair  ot"  natural  history  should  he  assigned  to  him. 

The  university  as  he  lound  it  had  three  faculties  and  Imt  sixteen  pro- 
fessors, a  numher  of  whoui  gave  only  a,  portion  of  their  time  to  univer- 
sity work,  while  the  huildings  and  eijuipnn'ut  were  wretched.  When  it 
is  stated  that  the  university  has  now  one  hundred  and  twenty  pro- 
fessors and  instructors  of  various  grades  and  an  ei|uii<ment  which  is  in 
all  departments  fairly  good  and  in  some  of  them  unsurpassed,  some 
idea  may  l)e  gained  of  the  progress  which  the  institution  made  under 
Sir  William  Dawson's  care  and  guidance. 

As  professor  of  natural  science  Sir  William  at  this  time  delivered 
Ci)Urses  in  chemistry,  hotany,  zoology,  and  geology,  and  natural  science 
hecanie  a  very  favorite  study  among  the  students,  for  he  was  an  excellent 
leclui'er.  and  his  entluHiasm  for  these  suhjects  was  communicated  to  all 
who  heard  him.  .As  years  went  on  the  instruction  in  the  first  three  of 
these  suhjects  was  undertaken  hy  others,  and  a  special  chair  of  geology 
and  paleontology  was  endowed  l>y  his  old  friend  and  co-worker.  Sir 
William  Logan,  a  chair  which  he  held  until  his  final  retirement.  Hi.s 
teaching  work,  however,  formed  hut  a  small  part  of  his  daily  lahors. 
In  addition  to  adnunistering  the  atl'airs  of  tin;  university,  he  was  (irst 
and  foremost  in  every  mo\  Mnent  to  further  ('(lucation  in  the  province, 
and  no  educational  hoard  was  coin]>lete  without  him.  He  was  the 
honorary  president  of  the  Natural  History  Society  and  never  missed  a 
meeting  or  a  field  day,  and  also  identifie<i  himself  closely  with  many 
other  societies  in  Montreal,  and  sjiared  neither  timi'  nor  lahor  in  their 
hehalf. 

Over  and  ahove  all  this  he  found  time  to  carry  out  original  work  along 
several  lines,  achieving  most  valuahle  results,  as  well  as  to  write  many 
popidar  works  on  science,  more  especially  in  its  relation  to  religion. 
Original  investigation  he  always  considereil  to  lie  one  of  tl'.e  chief  duties 
and  pleasures  of  a  nnin  of  science.  Most  of  his  work  along  thest'  lines 
was  done  during  \\\<  sumnu»r  vacations  ;  in  fact,  he  was  led  to  accept 
the  position  of  principal  in  .Mctiill  chiefly  hy  the  tact  that  the  vacations 
gave  him  leisurt'  and  ojtportunity  for  work  of  this  kind. 

We  was  always  very  progressive  in  his  ideas  relative  to  the  scope  and 
development  of  university  t(,'aching.  and  was  continually  urging  the 
endowment  of  new  cliairs  and  the  hroadening  of  university  work,  so 
that  all  young  men  wishing  to  train  themselves  for  the  higher  walks  of 
]\\\',  uiitdit  in  the  university  tind  their  needs  supplied.  .\s  an  instance 
of  this  it  may  he  mentioned  that  so  far  liack  as  LS5.S  he  succeeded  in 
estahlishing  a  school  of  civil  engineering,  which,  after  a  severe  struggle

hel'ore  the  WCrnerian  Society  of  lMliiihur<:h  in  ISJl  on  a  species  of  held

tinuous coiiiriiiutor  to  scieiitilic  journals  and  to  tlu^  puhlieations  of 
various  learned  societies.  His  papers  were  very  numt>rous  and  covered 
a  wide  raiiuc  <>f  suhjccts  in  the  domain  of  natural  history.  The  most 
important  work  of  his  earlier  years  was  an  extended  stmly  of  the  u'col- 
o^y  of  the  eastern  maritime  provinces  of  the  dominion  of  Canathi.  His 
results  aic  emhodied  in  his  ".\cadiaii  (ieolouy,""  already  mentioned.  It

these  creatures  were  embodied  in  a  series  of  subsequent  papers  which 
appeared  ironi  time  to  time. 

On  taking  u])  his  residence  in  Montreal  his  attention  was  attracted  to 
the  remarkable  development  of  Pleistocene  deposits  exposed  in  the 
vicinity  of  the  city,  and  he  undertook  a  detailed  study  ot  them,  and 
especiallv  of  the  remarkably  rich  fossil  fauna  which  they  contam.  He 
also  studied  subse-iuenllv  the  Pleistocene  deposits  of  the  lower  Saint 
Lawrence  river  and  instituted  comparisons  between  them  and  the  present 
fauna  of  the  gulf  of  Saint  Lawrence  and  of  the  Labrador  coast. 

He  was  led  by  these  studies  to  believe  that  the  deposits  in  (piestion 
had  been  accumulated  lar-ely  through  the  action  of  sea-borne  ice,  and 
bein..-  anxious  to  studv  the  evidence  on  which  the  continental  geologists 
had  "based  their  views  of  the  high  elliciency  of  land  ice  as  an  eroding 
iv^ent  he  visited  Switzerland  in  1S(55  and  there  studied  the  phenomena 
of  .dacial  action.  By  these  studies  he  was  led  to  attril)ute  much  less 
importance  to  land  ice  as  an  eroding  agent  than  was  commonly  assigned 
to  it.  "  I  was  also  led  to  believe,"  he  wrote  shortly  before  his  death, 
"  that  while  the  carrying  power  of  a  glacier  is  undoubtedly  great,  it  is 
altogether  inferior  to  that  of  sea-lmrne  ice,  whether  in  the  form  ot  ice- 
fields, grinding  on  the  shores,  or  of  icel)ergs,  and  these  views,  arrived  at 
and  piil)lished  in  181)."),  1  have  ever  since  consistently  maintained."  ^ 

'riu;  rt'sults  of  his  studies  on  the  Canadian  l'leistt)cene  api)eared  in  a 
series  Of  papers  as  the  work  progressed,  and  were  tinally  embodied  in 
a  volume  entitled  -The  Canadian  Ice  Age."  which  was  issued  in  1H1»3 
as  onuof  the  publications  of  the  IVter  lledpath  Museum  of  Mctiill  Lm- 
versily.  This  is  one  of  the  mo-t,  important  contributions  to  the  paleon- 
tology of  the  Pleistocene  which  has  hitherto  appeared. 

AsVir  William  was  always  much  more  int'M-ested  in  the  history  of  hfe 
than  in  anv  of  the  inorganic  aspects  of  the  science  of  geolog\ ,  he  consid- 
ered one  ohiis  most  important  contributions  to  scieiitilic  knowledge  to 
be  the  disco^-ery  of  lur-oun  nnHidnis,:  The  true  character  of  this  remark- 
al)le  object,  concerning  which  there  has  l)een  so  much  discussion,  can 
hardly  "l»e  considered  even  yet  as  ddinitely  settled.  Us  resemblance 
n'iicro"scoi)icallv  to  certain  organic  forms  is  so  remarkable  that  some  of 
the  most  experience«l  observers  have  accepted  it  as  of  organic  origin. 
Its  Held  rel;itions.  however,  leave  but  little  doubt  that  it  is  inorganic. 

Tlie  literature  of  this  subject,  which  includes  many  i)apers  by  Sir 
William,  is  (luilr  voluminous,  but  the  chief  facts  are  summed  up  in  his 
book  eiililh'd  "Tli.^  Dawn  of  Life,"  which  appeared  in  ISTo. 

Sir  William  was  also  a  prolilic  writer  of  [)opular  works  on  various 
geological  topics.  Among  these  may  he  mentioned  his  "Story  of  the 
earllwind  man,"  his  "  Fossil  men  and  their  modern  rei)resentative8,"

"  Story  of  the

his  "  Meeting  place  of  geoh^jy  and  history,"  and  his  "  Modern  science 
in  Hi  bit'  lands."  These  hooks,  all  written  in  a  very  entertaining  style, 
had  a  wide  cirele  of  readers,  and  many  of  them  passed  through  several 
editions. 

Other  volumes  from  his  pen,  as  well  as  many  papers  contributed  to 
various  religious  i)uhlic:itions,  treated  of  the  relation  of  science  and  reli- 
gion. One  of  the  earliest  of  these  was  entitled  '•Archaia.''and  dealt  with 
the  relations  of  historical  geology  to  the  Mosaic  account  of  the  creation. 
In  others  he  considered  the  relation  of  the  evolutionary  hypothesis  to 
religious  thought. 

Sir  William  was  a  Presbyterian  of  the  old  school  and  strongly  opposed 
to  all  theories  of  the  evolution  of  man  from  brute  ancestors,  nor  would 
he  allow  anything  juore  than  a  very  moderate  anticjuity  for  the  species. 

The  study  of  geology,  too,  he  would  have  emancii)ated  from  "  that 
materialistic  infidelity  which  by  robbing  nature  of  the  spiritual  element 
and  of  its  presiding  divinity  makes  science  dry,  barren,  and  repulsive 
and  diminishes  its  educational  value." 

These  works  on  the  relation  of  science  and  religion,  while  they  un- 
doubtedly met  a  popular  need,  have  but  a  transitory  valu^,  and  they 
are  not  the  works  by  which  Sir  William  Dawson  will  be  remembered. 
His  rei)utation  is  founded  on  the  great  contributions  to  our  permanent 
stock  of  knowledge  which  he  has  made  and  winch  are  embodied  in  his 
works  on  pure  science,  representing  achievements  of  which  any  nnin 
might  well  he  proud.  Ifis  name  has  been  perpetuated  in  connection 
with  the  geological  department  of  his  university  by  the  establishment  of 
a  second  chair  in  geology,  to  be  known  as  the  Dmwsou  chair,  which  has 
just  been  endowed  in  his  memory  by  Sir  William  Macdoiiald. 

Sir  William  was  a  man  of  (piiet  genialicy,  gentle  and  even  deferential 
in  manner,  l)Ut  decided  in  opinio. ;  and  firm  in  action.  The  pre-eminent 
note  of  his  character  was  sincerity  and  singleness  of  purpose.  His  loss 
will  be  felt  l)y  all  who  knew  him,  but  especially  by  tlie  members  of  the 
university  with  which  he  was  so  long  connected.
